i love the show. these. little. traineeship hats to the black box and. the hall to an archive is the property of the photo agency getty images which was founded in one thousand nine hundred thirty eight a staff of twenty five worked to make the stocks of images available to the media galleries and private individuals. they're responsible for gems like these original film still and studio photos from the shooting of fritz lang's classic movie metropolis. now you've got the very famous shots that everyone you know will recognize and maybe send shots that you don't recognize you know. this is where fertility becomes even though it wasn't shot for that.

fewer than one percent of the pictures have been digitized so far. for twenty five years now richard davis has been working to increase that percentage here digitizing is more than tossing a picture into a scanner the generated files have to satisfy the most demanding criteria so the process can be very involved and time consuming for example making a decades old faded negative look like it did when the photo was taken. you have to understand you have to understand when you adds and subtracts to an image what it. that's when the sky and when you look at the sky and one hundred percent which is not now. they still go smooth between the shadows the highlights. even. finding suitable images for extremely diverse clients can be real

detective work. and it often results in surprises. we're still only scratching the surface. as a rough indication for if we want to meet online there's two hundred prints in the fall as for every one of those prints in the files which we've seen it potentially two hundred negatives that have never been seen and that's the exciting is pleasure and pain. the holton archive does more than digitize it has its own darkroom where technicians who have decades of experience make analog prints in any desired size. they have a wall kind of fail to them the get with it a modern digital player and and also we can. buy experience. they just kept. the last fifty. but just don't know about digital.

the archive is not limited to pictures of stars politicians and historic moments matthew botching is fascinated by every day photos of ordinary people doing ordinary things this is a cultural resolves and although we generate revenue off the back of that three licensing to newspapers books magazines even advertising it's more than that it's this is a cultural heritage and it's all a job to look off to that. culture an archive is a unique photographic collection that features pictures from one hundred fifty years of mankind's history. and there are plenty more stories just waiting to be uncovered. well they've certainly got their work cut out now let's take a look at what's happening across europe today our express features the pope penguins and prints. the

well from scary looking food to a strange looking beverage now normally wind tends to fall into one of three color categories white red or rosé but in northern spain two young entrepreneurs have decided they need to add to that traditional color palette thankyou of choice fluorescent blue in bilbao they've been producing the drink that is made entirely out of grapes but you wouldn't think it based on its look and while it has the same alcohol content as wine they're not allowed to sell it as such. blue anyone it might not look like it or be permitted to be called wine but this is a spanish wine it's made from grapes pressed in the normal way it was created by five friends in bilbo who wanted to revolutionize the wine world with their product he could live. the bright blue color is their trademark and marketing gimmick.

we make different kinds of grapes and then we extract meant from the skin of the right grape that's called. and that's when the blue come from so it's actually one hundred percent grape. wine isn't a category under the law that's why it can't officially be called wine. some wine experts like enrique martinez are also a little skeptical. but not enough to turn down a text. which is full of want to see what wine tastings will be frightened by the color but when they smell it they'll be surprised that it smells like wine you will. know what i mean it's not a strong wine. the alcohol content around eleven point five percent. when you try

it if you notice the taste a bit sweet i personally prefer dry wines that are winners about the. spanish wine making is steeped in tradition so for some this blue wine is hard to swallow. owns a vineyard and he's the president of a spanish council on wine regulation. he likes young people to get involved in wine as long as the culture is lost. you know we know how much online is more than a drink. and when you drink wine you're also absorbing the region it's from where. you feel the effort that's gone into the. the work and hopes of the wine maker. a glass of wine is a small piece of the country and the vineyard. it's a different story in. spanish wine bars have a more pragmatic approach as long as a. drink is welcome. the blue wine certainly arouses

a curiosity from young and old alike. but it's not bad but it lacks expression but he. says very smooth you can't really tell if there is alcohol in it which is a little weird. the creators of geek alive are vindicated by their success they've sold more than four hundred thousand bottles in twenty five countries including britain japan and australia next they want to conquer the us market. around. this kind of rule how to drink it. wine the best concept. you know without all the trouble of having this kind of. basic rule for wine is actually drink what you like so if you like.

a visit in the german city of zob licken to see them at work. for picture panels sparse text a crude style of drawing these comics play with their readers expectations. the figures never act and feel as you think. i know the comics were created by these two people elizabeth and jonathan. fighting but. amongst my book it was all. together they are war and peace it's a play on the title of lael tolstoy's famous epic novel. but they see themselves as a goofy version. of the comics. i can join up with understand our hero mix always orient themselves completely

toward what we think is funny if we don't think a comic is funny we would never publish it many other comic artists might see an anniversary or an event coming up and say let's draw a comic for it but that's not the way we work so folks and maybe it's a mishmash. elizabeth and jonathan often get their ideas from things they see in everyday life in a cafe and then they brainstorm and draft sketches. in the country you know in the computer says the password you chosen is too weak but i think it's really arrogant of the computer to say that it's like i have insulted enough of them because you know as i would a question ok so he types a password in the computer answers the password is weak. must be like this. is my son's happiness we usually have something in mind already when we made a cache it's much more we tell each other our ideas and usually the other person provides feedback. and that leads to a new idea oh yeah we're getting more involved. in my mouth. that's

the end and was. often one of us draws the first two pictures and says i've set up a good starting situation but i don't know how it should continue because then the other comes and develops a twist on me that's was on our comics often have that unexpected twist or end in some absurdity the kind and often the one who didn't think in the story can construct the twist better than the one who came up with the original idea that they could be had for. the story. but have unsuspected. creating that apparent simplicity is our. story the dog that plays hide and seek with its mistress who's blind. and there's a surprise when the grim reaper comes for someone to take her out to dinner.

elizabeth and jonathan are a couple they've worked on their comics alongside their day jobs for six years. their passion for comics brought them together when they were students at art college. comics. get to know michel i think it's our very special combination of the visual medium and the literary medium. there are deceptively social and that's why they're so excessive. and you can convey lots of ideas quickly and powerfully with his combination who have in common and especially with humor you can tie things together that are visually funny and then intensify them with dialogue on dog there's so many nuances and it's fascinating how many ways there are to transport humor with this mixture of image untaxed times but. they create the final

comic on a tablet each line goes straight into the computer. here they're working on the story of a computer that complains about a week past where. the comic art they published online made the two of them pioneers at the art college in the can. we started this blog and it became more and more successful as we did our own comic stuff as part of the comic lessons of college. and pretty soon after we graduated we were able to give our own courses and that's still growing. in student of nasa quality and there's now a master's course in comic and graphic novels. i write and you can see from all the different publications that are broken is a good place for comics and. so what happens to the uppity computer gets what it deserves.

a big italian community there which was responsible for pasta finding its way into the dish in the installation what kosher is simply unique. it. is egypt's version of fast food there it can be found on almost every street corner and. it's mix of rice noodles and lentils is also popular because it's traditionally of the condition the variations with ground meat are occasionally offered. spices like cumin and herbicide along with white wine vinegar give the sauce it's unmistakable taste. and kosher we just wouldn't be complete without some caramelized onions on top.

in egypt koshary is mainly offered at roadside stalls or snack bars but it's an inexpensive and filling meal which is why it's a favorite among students and young people in general. was extremely important is that vinegar has to be added to the tomato sauce the tomato sauce is basically similar to an italian. so if you leave out the vinegar it tastes quite like italian to made. sauce. as if necklace the vinegar is extremely important to bring out the typical koshary tastes in the human tradition which is being issued for. the kosher we look stands out from all the other restaurants around sabina flats in berlin shot mockingbird district. when it came to the interior design landmark had clear ideas about how it should look. important the
